something about it been the oldest profession in the world.. or was that marketing? whatever! anyways the fact is yes it is considered a social evil in many places in the world but its really demand and supply, like IM put it. stop the demand to stop the supply if that is what the world still wants!
ps :" On them were price tags detailing their age, weight, height, dimensions and country of origin" wonder how much of the info supplied was accurate and guaranteed =D
